Security Fix
============
**CVE-2016-3176** Insecure configuration of PAM external authentication service
2016-03-23 20:04:29 +00:00
This issue affects all Salt versions prior to 2015.8.8/2015.5.10 when PAM
:ref:`external authentication <acl-eauth>` is enabled. This issue involves
passing an alternative PAM authentication service with a command that is sent
to :ref:`LocalClient <local-client>`, enabling the attacker to bypass the
configured authentication service. Thank you to Dylan Frese <dmfrese@gmail.com>
for bringing this issue to our attention.
This update defines the PAM eAuth ``service`` that users authenticate against
in the Salt Master configuration.
No additional fixes are included in this release.
Read Before Upgrading Debian 8 (Jessie) from Salt Versions Earlier than 2015.5.9
================================================================================
Salt ``systemd`` service files are missing the following statement in these versions:
.. code-block:: ini
[Service]
KillMode=process
This statement must be added to successfully upgrade on these earlier versions
of Salt.
